Really? That's Your Final Answer?

Ever since the Kindle Fire came out, I have had thoughts of getting one. I own a Kindle 3 and really like it. But right now, paying $199 is not possible. But I still like to read reviews about it and compare it to other tablets and ereaders. Some day I may be able to afford one.

Well, while looking through comments on Amazon.com from people who purchased one, it seems that about 20% have it an unfavorable review. I believe that these people thought they were getting a cheap device that operated exactly like an iPad. I guess they don't do their homework before spending $200.

I did come across several reviews that made me laugh. First because of the reason they gave it a bad review, and second because there were several that gave this same reason.

What reason was that you ask? The reason was that their 4-5 year old child had a hard time operating it. I mean, are they for real? I couldn't believe that someone would purchase a Kindle Fire, a device for reading books and other multimedia content, for their young child who pretty much can't even read at that age.

Two scary things about these people. First, they are allowed to vote, second there are probably more out there than they ones I came across.
